Figuring Shit Out Speaker Series KL: 3 Reasons Being Smart Can Hurt You As A Founder
At Figuring Shit Out, we put on events for Founders who don't normally go to events. We never believed the startup ecosystem needed another panel, fireside chat, or generic Q&A. Instead, we ask speakers to sit down ahead of time and think deeply about what they truly want to share with founders.
In partnership with BEYOND4, we're bringing this experience to Kuala Lumpur. Beyond good food and meaningful networking, we believe founders invest their time to gain something far more valuable: perspective!
Our speakers come from diverse entrepreneurial, corporate, and investment backgrounds that have shaped the way they view opportunities, challenges, and growth. Each session offers a fresh lens on the realities of building companies, giving founders practical insights and new ways of thinking for their own entrepreneurial journey.
Topic
Overthinking Things
Perfectionism
Overcomplicated Solutions
Founder Coach Xianhang Zhang has seen these issues derail startups over and over again. In this talk, Xianhang will go over why these blockers disproportionately affect smart founders, his experiences working with founders to overcome these issues and how you can take the same attitudes to diagnose your own emotional blocks that are stalling out progress.
